Is it worth the risk? That five-word question will likely sit and fester at the back of every Kansas City Chiefs fan's mind as two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes suits up against the Houston Texans just six days after suffering a high ankle sprain last Sunday.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sustained an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of a 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and was replaced by veteran signal-caller Carson Wentz.

The Chiefs have the inside track to the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Is that enough to make them Super Bowl 59 favorites?

The NFC West has been a rollercoaster all season. The Rams lead the division at 8-6, while the Cardinals sit at 7-7. This game in Los Angeles could determine the division champion. The Rams will be looking for revenge after a blowout loss to Arizona earlier in the year, and the winner will likely control their playoff destiny.
